   I am using Linux and the "vi" on my system(s) is not vim, it is nvi.   
      
   $ readlink /usr/bin/vi   
   /etc/alternatives/vi   
   $ readlink /etc/alternatives/vi   
   /usr/bin/nvi

   MacOS has vim as its POSIX conforming vi (certified conforming to   
   UNIX 03).   
      
   Solaris 11.4 has vim in addition to a "real" (SVR4-derived) vi.   
   Which one you get if you type "vi" depends on your PATH:   
      
   $ readlink /usr/bin/vi   
   vim   
   $ type vi   
   vi is a tracked alias for /usr/xpg7/bin/vi   
   $ getconf PATH  # standards-conforming PATH   
   /usr/xpg7/bin:/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin:....
